How do you, really you, AR?

I'm just wondering. I have a habit of tolerating almost EVERYONE around me and simply start making fun of them if they try to trouble me. (^_^) There are time when I will run away from some nudie or just about anyone with that "sex on the beach" gesture. But that's their sense of humor and I'm more than willing to let them have it an move somewhere else.

What about you? Are you strict about people following standards or do you prefer a liberated Second Life? (^_^)

I'm hellishly strict. If another avatar so much as looks at me funny, I take their name. An avatar doesn't laugh uproariously at my wisecracks? Bad move. Text message speak in my presence? Busted.

This is not so far off lol. I was threatened for several minutes by a couple avatars, a master and a slave I presume, because I typed the full name of one of the slaves in conversation. They said they filed AR's against me for not being authorized to type their name in chat.

I laughed my ass off. Left and never heard about it again.

I generally only bother AR'ing attacks on public places.

I have other ways of dealing with one-on-one situations.

You have no idea what he'll let me get away with....

Whose standards, Immie?

.

lol, I made it into someone's sig!

I rarely AR. If it's just affecting me, I generally leave. I might AR if it's affecting multiple people or causing significant performance problems in a sim.

I make special exceptions, of course. I forgive you your text message speak

hahaha, that's priceless.

I'm ARing you for making me laugh at an inappropriate time. Thanks, and have a great day.

Extremely liberal and forgiving. Wouldn't even think to AR anyone almost no matter what they did.

Griefers? Heh. Ever see what happens to a griefer when there are say, 150-ish Caledon residents online hearing the call of "Grieeeeeeferrrrrrr!" on group channel?

Last time, one of the ladies used her wiles to lure the griefer somewhere just a little while after... 'avatar freeze' + prim sheep + Flikr is a terrible, terrible fate...

Voted for only the most annoying, though I didn't AR anyone up to now. Since my land is on estate, I didn't even have to AR those bloody addfarmers, but I would say they are among the most annoying
Since I started my SL, I only twice saw real griefing: once on a piece of land I had for sale, which was fun. Freezing is quite funny to see, especially when you go stand on their head when they are frozen. For the rest, laughing straight into their faces was fun as well. No reason to AR for me. Second time was in the Hangout, I was just looking into my Mysti tools to see wether I could do something, when Chris came along and booted the suckers. Spoiled my fun

There is a good reason I think you should not AR too quickly: Resource hogging. There is only so much capacity at LL to address Abuse Reports, let them address the real important issues. Some brainless monkey (no I am not referring to LL) who finds it amusing to grief on my property are not among the important ones. Add farmers for example, are.

LOL, U R funny, h3rz. ROTFL!!
Wooooooot!
**\~~~HOWWWWWLLLLLLLZZZZZZ~~/**
LMAO
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I love making trap statements. (^_^) You're good to have caught it. (^_^)y

I shall deal with you later. Oh yes.

I'm pretty liberal in general about what I tolerate around here.

I've only AR'd one person because he stupidly showed me RL child pornography he has "hidden" on his property.

Thus far, the Lindens have done nothing about it. I know, because he is a friend of mine; hence his apparent trust in showing me this materal and I still can't figure out why on earth he even thought I'd want to see it, but that's a whole other story. I felt awful about the AR, and thought long and hard about it before doing it, even going so far as to give him some advance warnings that he might get in trouble for having such materials and being blatent about it in his profile, etc. Like I said, I can tolerate a lot, but when it comes to children, that is my big boundary and what I saw was so disturbing, I had no choice but to put the friendship aside and follow what I knew was the right thing to do.

BTW, now I have NO trust that the Lindens are going after the right people - I guess too busy going after all those reports of adfarmers still

Oh and don't anyone worry - it isn't anyone from the Cartel group. We're freaky, but not that freaky (or not that I've found out yet...)

I haven't encountered anything that would make me even consider an in world AR. *I have asked for 2 threads to be locked here* It would have to be a serious harrassment issue, repeated griefing, tresspassing, something like that. Or possibly being ripped off for a significant amount of money, not the pennies a dress or a pair of shoes may cost. Otherwise, I'm a live an let live type, I can TP away or distance myself from most annoyances.

I say we all put on our fuzzy sheep slippers tonight and do a little line-dancing on the ceiling!
Who's with me?

.

That's just sick. I'll have to AR the bunch of you.

I've only been tempted to AR twice. Both were instances where someone was being threatened and subjected to extortion in RL via SL.

In the end I stepped in and helped the victim myself and as with most bullies, being confronted by someone who wasn't afraid was enough to persuade the culprit to leave well enough alone.

To be honest anything that happens purely in SL isn't worth bothering about in my book, it's only when direct threats are made to someone in RL that I think an AR is required.

I think that most people are confident enough to treat threats to our RL via SL as pathetic desperation, but there are particularly vulnerable people who need a little extra support.

(O_O) WOW! We're kinda in the same boat there. I'm sure we're not on the same level, but, yeah, I've seen the 'hidden' stuff around when I've been mapstabbing. (=_=)

I'm VERY open about my lolicon preferences. That, my avatar, and my choice of clothing leads some people to believe that I'm into hardcore SAP and trading CP inworld. I haven't ARed anyone on that yet, I don't keep what is being sent to me, but I've already heard of a friend of a friend lost to that exact activity. She picked the wrong person to send a totally ILLEGAL picture to. (T_T)

I have sent in a total of 3 AR's.
2 were together. Two guys with oribiters chasing people around a sim owned by a friend of mine. She was histarical and afraid all the customers and merchants would leave her place. We got it sorted out, helped her set security and never heard from the griefers since.

The 3rd was a kid. He showed up and was asking advice like any newbie, but then admited to being 10 years old. It was a hard choice; I don't want to be a narc but when you think about how wierd SL can be ... and he was only 10. He needed to be somewhere else. Too many sickos in this world and SL has it's share as well.

So anyway, I only AR the extream cases. Most stuff can be handled on my own.

Promises....


Re. AR - I've ARed someone who was griefing newbies who were so fresh that they were still running into walls and holding torches. While some griefers can be downright amusing, it's just wrong to spoil a newcomer's first experiences here.

Okay, I'm REALLY, SERIOUSLY, EARNESTLY going back to work now.

.

I've filed maybe eight or ten ARs, almost all of them due to griefers at public areas like the infohubs.

Either attacks on the sim, or persistent, wanton attacks on individual avatars will get an AR from me.

My last AR was for an adfarm that I flew by. With everyone talking about adfarms being removed and such I thought I'd do my little part. The previous AR to that was for a mega prim that was sitting in four regions. I was concerned about my region's stability. I've ignored numerous griefings and rude people for a while now. It's just a lot easier for me to move about 30 meters away and ignore them. Most people like that are looking for a reaction and if they don't get one they get bored and leave.

I have 3 computers on my desks ATM (about average -- sometimes 5) one of which has dual moniters. RA is on one moniter and the remote console to my mian file/print server is on the other.

I'm an addict

Ok, so I'm afraid this is where I become incredulous..

To be honest Imnotgoing, or however you like to be addressed, your post implies that you've received illegal material of the basest and most despicable variety and decided that you should adhere to some code which stops you from ARing (as a minimum) the sources involved.

I was sort of hoping that whatever dark personal fantasies we decide to act out in SL, we could at least all agree that as a minimum we expect it to remain fantasy and affect consenting adults only.

Surely, we can all get on board with the idea that on receipt of an RL picture containing scenes involving children, the source is no longer to be considered a "friend" and that any code which would expect us to protect the piece of human excrement in question.. words just fail me...

And we wonder why SL isn't more popular among the wider population...

Sorry if I've hijacked the thread.. well actually I'm not.
